Pulse Electronics Introduces Pin-in-Paste RF MoCA Filter Modules

SAN DIEGO --(Business Wire)--

Pulse
Electronics Corporation (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider of
electronic components, introduces RF
MoCA (Multimedia over Cable Alliance) filter modules that are
pin-in-paste compatible. Pin-in-paste manufacturing uses a reflow
instead of a wave soldering process to apply solder to the components,
saving time, increasing throughput, and reducing costs. These filters
are compliant with MoCA 1.1 and 2.0 requirements and are qualified with
leading MoCA silicon vendors. A filter module can be configured as a
multiband diplexer/triplexer with CATV (Cable TV), satellite, and DOCSIS
(Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) frequencies with an
optional built-in surge protection. They can withstand a maximum reflow
temperature of 260°C and operate over an extended temperature range of
-40° to +85°C.

"The ability to use pin-in-paste technology to reflow solder these
modules to a circuit board presents significant savings to set-top box
manufacturers," explained Muhammad Khan, product manager, RF Products,
Pulse (News - Alert) Electronics. "In addition, you get the advantage of having filter
modules that meet the highest industry requirements and that can operate
in rugged environments over an extended temperature range."

The pin-in-paste method (also called pin-in-hole, intrusive reflow, or
through-hole reflow technology) is a process that allows through-hole
components to be reflow soldered instead of wave or hand soldered. Using
solder reflow eliminates the cost of wave soldering equipment, saves
manufacturing floor space, is a no-clean soldering process, reduces heat
stress at the component level, is comatible with existing processes,
and results in higher reliability at the printed circuit board level due
to fewer soldering processes. With pin-in-paste technology, the RF
filters can also be inserted into the PCB using industry standard
pick-and-place equipment, eliminating the need for manual component
placement.

Pulse's RF filters are designed to provide maximum isolation between the
bands with excellent return and insertion loss. Pulse offers catalog and
MoCA IC suppliers qualified filters to meet the specific needs of each
customer. Even in high volume production, these filters are 100% tested
to the specifications.
